Hey Jerry, that was a very thorough and detailed review. I don’t know of anyone who is as meticulous in their description and measurements, providing great visual comparison with other similar lures. Great job! Greg
Looks like a great bait. I just searched forever to try finding some to purchase and they are all sold out every where. Must be really good like you said!
i bought the entire super break blade lineup about 5-6 months ago and they're on another level. one of the things i noticed was how well it comes through cover. you can literally throw their qtr oz into a reed cluster and it won't get hung. i like rigging the 3/16 or qtr oz with their 3" rhythm grub. anyway, great video.
Queen's tackle "switchblades" on swim jigs with VERTICAL LINE TIE. Turn your swim jig into a chatterbait. But I noticed the jig that worked the best with the switchblade was a finesse football head jig with large switch blade
Nice to hear your opinion, from a guy that is a designer of R&D is something. I like very much tu hear the way you speek, i am a mold designer and also a fisherman and an inventor. Not the same as you but close. Again, very cool to hear from you. Cheers
Greetings from New England~Glad you like the vids. One of my buddies grew up fishing Lake of Ozarks. I learnt a few crankbait and buzzbait tricks from him. He dreams one day our local lakes will lose all the weed so he can fish his style like back on the Ozarks LOL Tight lines!!
#1 is the bass puzzle grass piece. Grass and wood and rock. Basically anywhere and can be used like a buzz bait too. Ultra versatile and add any trailer type get it to do more. 🎉
One other thing to prevent snags that isn't often mentioned is the type of trailer. Something like a Zako or Spunk Shad is quite pointed on the bottom. So they tip and fall over when they deflect on cover with traditional chatterbaits. Something with a wider, flat bottom like a creature bait largely prevents this. And that's another nice thing about the Jackall. Because of the "kick stands" on the bottom that prevent roll, you can go back to using things like the Zako in heavy cover without worry. Also, really great channel. The underwater footage when provided is particularly useful. Your detailed explanation WITH underwater video is about as good as it gets. More please!
Exactly, the Jackhammer due to the open hook design restricts trailer selection. I use Beaver, SpaceMonkey etc for going through woods but like you said, makes the overall profile big. Thanks for the support. Will do.
Great video, very good and detailed presentation, with perfect examples and comparisons! You skipped to point out one detail that makes this lure a gem, in combination with all the others you mentioned.
I have been asking zman for a hair or feather jig chatterbait for years. This is really close to what I was looking for. I am definitely going to order some.
I just got some of these and fished with one today i really like it for heavy cover the only down side is i lost quite of few from them coming off ude to the cover wires not allowing a great hooks hookset even though I set the hook well.
Glad it was working for you. For me the wires worked ok but heavy covers can vary a lot. What type of cover were you fishing? Shoulder to shoulder these wires are much better than the cross-eye IMO.
what color the chatter bait and the color of trailer on video top and bottom lure please, I like to try used it on my home lake. your video looks good and great presentation!
I'm curious how those will work for the saltwater. They could be awesome for redfish and maybe flounder or trout. In FL they might be good for snook. I'd like to throw them around the marshes in the Chesapeake Bay area.
Let me know how it works! Might be too finesse for Snook and stuff in the mangroves -- the hooks are not designed for pulling giants I guess. Zona about a decade ago had an episode where he was throwing chatterbaits in either Florida or Louisiana, the big jacks could not resist the offering and fight he put on his freshwater flipping stick was epic.
I've been throwing the Chatter bait a lot in cold cold water and had one of my best days this year ... I live the Grass piece ... fishes amazing in heavy cover
For Jackhammer I use 2 rods: Megabass 2014 Evoluzion Diablo F5.5-68Ti (for medium to close quarter applications) and Megabass 2017 Destroyer USA Javelin for distant or deep water applications (7-5 MH MF composite rod). I'm sure there are many other great options but I have been a fan of Megabass for over 16 years now. They are not only beautiful but also functional IMO. I'm not a big fan of using glass rods for chatter baits. I fish hard weed/grass a lot, glass rods give too much to jerk the chatter off of the weed, and when they do it creates a huge darting distance. I like the composite or graphites with high power, whose blank bottom kicks in much quicker. When you jerk the rod to pull chatter off the weed, a small quick wrist pump will do it, the chatter comes off with speed but short distance, this is when I found success in triggering those reaction bites. Hope this helps. If you are looking for a chatterbait rod, good luck! If you are interested in Megabass, P5 Blade (very similar to Evo Diablo) or MadBull are both great options.
Yes that is a spinnierbaitXchatterbait cross over. I have not fished it yet. The Super Break Blade IMO is the most weedless chatter bait ever -- you can let it sit in the middle of the weedbed and drag like a jig and still not get snagged, while still have very good hook up ratio.
@@BassniperEng so I used it a bit when it first come out...trust me you are gonna love it....but here's some game...take the skirt off ..put a 5 inch raid super fish roller...watch it fall...and then look at the flash you get
It's a 26$ lure here in sweden and just come in two colors in the local shop but I probebly will pick up atleast one but wont put it into the water without a foot of 0.6fc leader to secure it from pike.

Yes, this one is the finesse version (the fine models). Cross eye are way bigger and heavier and equipped with giant hooks (sort of restricts what king of smaller trailer you can put on).
wire guards on top and bottom of the head, plus a much smaller profile (smaller blades, smaller hooks. Wire guard material is different from that used in Cross-eye wire. Way bouncy.
I thought I recognized your accent. I checked your other Channel out. why do you use Kanji writing in the title in your non English Channel when it's all in mandarin?
Kanji is Han Character, which is Chinese, don't see any problem here. If you are referring to "simplified Chinese character简体字" -- I grew up reading books in the "traditional characters正體字" so have no problem switching back and forth, plus the pronunciation are essentially the same.
Got these 3 years ago mostly sit in my box they're great but still not better than a hammer that little weed guard just picks up more grass. Just my opinion.
The ones came out couple years ago were the Break Blade, which was not too much different from other weedless offerings. Break Blade is different from this one which is now named "Super" Break Blade. Different head design, different hook, no bottom wire guards etc.
Literally said "does not work well", not "does not work". Give it a try and you will know what I mean. Out fishes Jackhammer in water below 40 F 4:1, especially when need to do bottom hopping in weeds or close to woods.
Jackhammer is a cheap built lure. I go with Zman chatterbaits they are better quality overall and always work great I’ve had issues with the jackhammers not working properly all the time the blade always gets stuck.

The grass piece give you the a shimmy fall with a trailer like osp stick. For me, that is unique

Same, but the snap bends out way too easy.
The Z-Man “Crosse eyed” chatterbait has weed gauzes🤷🏻♂️
cross eyes are much bigger in profile with giant hook, the weed guards are also completely different material and design minus the bottom ones.
Great detail as always. I will try it. Have you tried the Dstyle Dα-Blade Jig. It has a normal weedguard and a unique wire guard. Thanks
Not the unique wire model yet but on my list.

Thanks bassniper
With the wires on top and bottom, will this make the bait skipless under tight cover?
skips like a charm as long as the trailer is right. I roll cast a lot and frequently have unwanted skipping if I had the trajectory on the lower side.
What composite rod was you using???
Ahhhh good eyes lol some hint left at the very end of the vid.
Just found you channel wondering where can I order some ? Thx
